I get what you're saying here but no it really wouldn't. The chinese population in Richmond is what it is largely as a result of immigration in response to Hong Kong's return to Chinese control in the 90's. Basically, that population is there because they wanted to get AWAY from Chinese control. Not all of them (actually a bunch are former Taiwanese and you can imagine how a "let's join China" vote would go with that contingent), but that's the foundation for the immigrant population in Richmond.
